Jon Gosselin’s attorney, Mark Heller, is berating Jon’s so-called pals Michael Lohan and Kate Major for selling out the dumbass dad in depositions last week.
Of TLC’s court case against Jon, Lohan stated that he felt “stabbed in back” by Gosselin for backing out of and then denying some potential business deals.
Contrarily, Heller says, Gosselin barely even knew Lohan (he even says as much in that leaked tape) and suggested Lohan was just using Jon for publicity:
“It’s regrettable that Michael Lohan is publicly discussing his relationship with Jon. Jon doesn’t want to dignify anything Mr. Lohan is addressing in the media.”
“I think it’s very clear that Jon did not enter into any arrangement with Mr. Lohan and has done nothing of a negative nature in his dealings with Mr. Lohan.”
Jon Gosselin’s mouthpiece summarily dissed Kate Major as well.
“Kate Major has basically used Jon Gosselin as her Obama stimulus package,” he says. “Every time she runs low on funds, she comes up with another story.”
That’s a good one by Heller. Major says it ain’t so, though, and maintains that Gosselin reneged on legally binding agreements for her to be his assistant.
A legally binding cocktail napkin? That’ll hold up in court.
Lohan and Major are the only two people who have been deposed so far, with Jon’s on-off-on-off-on-off ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman on tap later today.
This Thursday, Gosselin and TLC will be in court to hash out his breach of contract dispute. Heller says Gosselin “feels extremely optimistic” about the case.
That could be all talk, as Jon is on the hook for millions of dollars by reneging on an exclusivity clause in his contract by trying to score deals on the side.
For his part, Jon claims TLC took advantage of him, forced him into veritable inventured servanthood and exploited his eight cute little kids for profit.
